Pre-Trip Support
With being a small family business we pride ourselves with providing personal, professional and friendly service in the lead up to your adventure whether it’s your very first, second or tenth. We appreciate that everyone has different levels of experience and reasons for wishing to embark on a trip and therefore require varying levels of support and guidance. We’re here to help you every step of the way from the moment you join the flock all the way through to completing the challenge and beyond. Jim and Sue’s knowledge, expertise and genuine enthusiasm stems from dozens of years of travelling and exploring the destinations that we visit in order to fully support you in the lead up to your adventure. We’ve been to the places we host our adventures and therefore can provide you with everything you need to know from day to day experiences of each trip, to the terrain covered, to food and accommodation, to kit requirements and advice, to training and preparation, to all the pre-trip admin requirements (visa, vaccinations, etc), basically everything you need to know to ensure you’re best prepared.
Below is just a snippet of the ways in which we support you in the lead up to your adventure…..
BOOKING SECURITY
We are proud to be ABTOT protected to give you peace of mind with your booking your trip with us. Adventurous Ewe is covered by ABTOT, the Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust, an approved body (by Department for Business, Energy and Industrial strategy) overseeing the bonding process to ensure that we as a Travel Organiser is at the adequate level to meet the requirements as defined by The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.
MOBILE TRAVEL APP
On booking your trip with Adventurous Ewe, you will receive all the exciting trip info via our mobile travel app, Vamoos. You’ll have access to all your trip info, countdowns, live updates, contact info, weather forecasts, know before you go trip info, day-to-day itinerary, maps, kit lists and much more all at the touch of a button, 24 hours a day 7 days per week via your mobile phone. No more unnecessary use of reams of paper and the need of carrying around documents with you. The app is free to download and all info is customary to your adventure ahead.
KIT SUPPORT, ADVICE AND EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT CODES
A full kit list and top tips will be provided when you sign up for an Adventurous Ewe trip. Good kit can make the difference between a fantastic adventure and an uncomfortable one. To help you get the very best from your trip we will provide you with an exclusive Adventurous Ewe discount code to use in independent UK outdoor retailers Joe Brown / The Climbers Shop and ashmei athletic apparel, both online and in store. They offer a large choice of kit that the staff themselves use whilst climbing, hiking, mountaineering, running, travelling or enjoying expeditions across the globe. The staff pride themselves on sharing their experience and knowledge of equipment so you can choose the right gear to suit you and the adventure you are about to undertake.
TRAINING AND PREPARTION
Preparation is key when it comes to taking on an adventure. When you join an Adventurous Ewe trip you will be provided with a bespoke training guide packed with plenty of tips and recommendations specific for your trip. To make sure you have the best experience on your challenge we highly recommend having a good level of strength, stamina, endurance and good ole grit and determination. Your training should incorporate aerobic (endurance building), anaerobic (strength building) exercises and some good long consecutive walks/cycles!
We are thrilled to bits to have teamed up with the hugely enthusiastic personal trainer Peter Lant from Bath Kettlebell Society. Peter has previously completed our Welsh 15 Peaks Challenge, a gruelling 3-day mountain trek conquering the 15 highest peaks in Snowdonia, so he is very familiar with our adventures and the training needed to ensure you enjoy the experience.
Peter has three training packages available:
- A subscription based training package of which the Adventurous Ewe flock has an exclusive 20% discount code
- A 28 Day Online Challenge which is designed as an introduction to the above style of training. Again the Adventurous Ewe flock has an exclusive 20% discount code
- Bespoke training plans available for your specific goals
All of these come with a downloadable app to deliver the programs along with a Nutrition app which has been developed by a UK Registered Dietician and both are super easy to use. For more info or to get in touch with Peter, please see the details below.

WATER-TO-GO BOTTLES – MINIMISE OUR PLASTIC FOOTPRINT
The impact of single use plastic is having on our landscape, wildlife and oceans, it is now more important than ever that we all make changes in order to help our planet. We may not be a huge global company but we’re passionate about playing our part and trying to make a huge difference collectively. Together we can dramatically reduce our consumption of single use plastics and support our responsible travel ethos of ‘Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but boot-prints, keep nothing but memories.’
You can make a difference too with taking part in one of our trips. If you join the flock on a long haul adventure, you will receive a complimentary Adventurous Ewe Water-To-Go Bottle which will be an essential piece of kit to eliminate the purchase of plastic water bottles in often developing countries. If you join us on a short haul (ie. European) or UK trip, you can purchase one of these environmentally friendly reusable alternative bottles using our exclusive 15% discount code. Not only does this eliminate the need to purchase plastic water bottles on your trip, you can also use it on a daily basis at home, at work and during your training. Some more great news is that Water-to-Go will donate a further 15% to our charity partner, Cool Earth if you purchase an exclusive Adventurous Ewe WTG bottle. For more info please visit here or email us at info@adventurousewe.co.uk to buy your Water-To-Go bottle. Thank-ewe.
